Highlights from this year:
AHE PTA implemented a school wide sign up genius account to organize all volunteer opportunities in one place. Room parents, teachers and PTA planners used this resource to make it easy for parents to sign up for everything from classroom readers to event volunteer spots.
At International Night, families and community shared facts about their countries and provided tastes of food from around the world. Students participated in martial arts demonstrations, cultural dance, music performances and a heritage costume parade.
The Fun Run helped PTA raise over $16,000 to support our school. The money raised goes to help purchase new curtains for our stage, fund individual class, grade level and school enrichment mini-grants. Also, 10% of the total went back to classroom teachers for supplies and materials.
Father daughter and mother son night events were great opportunities for parents and kids to spend time with other school families. Parent volunteers and teachers donated their time and creativity on Saturdays to provide these events for our families.
School Musical: Kids loved performing “The School Zone,” a high-energy musical parody where many hilarious situations such as dealing with being late, test anxiety, choosing friends, avoiding bullies and surviving lunch challenge the characters. Thanks to the support of school staff and parent volunteers, this musical production was a success!
Staff Appreciation Week: With the help of parent volunteers and local businesses, our staff members were treated like movie stars with a VIP catered lunch, fan mail from students, mail room popcorn bar, red carpet photo shoots and a traveling treat cart.
AHE PTA also supported many other school programs and events throughout the school year including: Book Fair Events, School newsletters, Room Parents, Yes, I Can Awards, Parent University Events, Helping Hands Donations Drive, Music, PE and Media Center Grants AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
Plans for next year include all of the above and a Popsicle play date for kindergarten families, back to school family night event and a welcome committee to support kindergarten families and families that are new to the community. Committees are forming for next year, visit the Volunteer section of this website to find out how YOU can help!
All of these events and programs would not have been possible without the time and talents of our Volunteers, thank you!
